Before joining KPCB, Eric was the founding Chief
Technology Officer and head of product at Hulu.com. Under Eric’s leadership, Hulu was
recognized as the Associated Press Website of the Year (2008), the
PC World Best Product (2008), and the TIME Magazine Best Invention
(ranked No. 4 in 2008), among other honors. Earlier in his career,
Eric was Chief of Staff to Vice President Al Gore.

Eric was also previously CTO at Flipboard, the personal magazine
application for mobile devices. At Flipboard, Eric led the global
engineering team as well as strategic partnerships and company
strategy, including financings and M&A.

Eric sat down with IVY’s co-founder Beri Meric, and spoke about
the role of a venture capitalist outside of just a monetary
investment. They also dove into what makes a great entrepreneur and
what investors look for in both a company and team.
